About the Wine
"For an amazing value and introduction to the house style, look to the 2023 Vino Rosso Trebbiolo, a blend of 60% Barbera and 40% Bonarda, that is so easy on the palate that you could pair it with breakfast.” - Eric Guido, Vinous
About La Stoppa
The La Stoppa winery and vineyards are located in Piacenza within the Emilia region of Italy where owner, Elena Pantaleoni, and her enologist, Giulio Armani, oversee thirty-six hectares of vineyards interplanted among forest and farm land. They have practiced organic since the early nineties, but it was only in 2008 that certification was in place. However, organics is just the tip of the iceberg at this uber-traditional winery, where spontaneous fermentations, ambient yeasts, little to no sulfur, long macerations and extended aging in neutral vessels rule the day. Here, every task is done with the goal of communicating a pure expression of variety, place and vintage. Barbera, which we often look to Piedmont for, excels here with Emilia’s warm climate and the heavy clay-limestone soils throughout La Stoppa’s vineyards.
